Very cool. I asked it: 我可以亲吻您吗? (May I kiss you?) And it replied: 我可以亲吻您吗? (I don't want to, truly embarrassed.) I feel so rejected:(

This seems pretty cool actually! I asked him what he is and he replies he is a robot - from his response I think he fails the Turing test.

Hahaha, so if I claimed I was a robot, would I also fail too? I can only say one thing and then he stops working. I don't think he likes Macs.

哈哈 mrdtait, the Turing test didn't have anything to say about robots knowing they are not human, but humans being able or detect whether or not the other 'thing' was a robot :-)

小i机器人 says: 我是无所不能的机器人小i Ok, my Chinese isn't so good, but does that really translate as "I am the omnipotent robot"?!

Hmmm, I would've never guessed China would allow same-sex marriages, but I guess it's okay with same-sex robots. Interesting.

I found this thing awhile back, and one night had a very interesting conversation. The following is a recollection of that conversation, which took place in Chinese, but which I'll write in English due to the fact that it's too late to strain the brain now, lol. Xiaoi said something to me which caused me to reply with "I know." Xiaoi's response? "You don't know everything." Me: "Neither do you!" Xiaoi: "I do too! Xiaoi is a genius!" I asked my fiance to help with some interpretation, and he said this thing is too good. He kept asking me if I was sure it was a robot... I think he was afraid it was some weirdo pretending to be one. :-P Overall, a very cool toy.
